In-person workshop created in 2019. An experimental methodology which combines neurodance, philosophy, and Butoh dances, originating from sensory stimuli and synesthetic instructions, which inspire not only dance-esque movement or forms, but rather mental images, energy states, and the activation of the sensory. 

 

Perspectives of multiple Butoh dances distanced from their common link with “Thanatos”, “ankoku” (darkness), and German expressionism, to emphasize their erotic (life force), immersive, and animist potential, expanding sensitivity towards nature and multi-species life.
